I had my newest article "Trying To Find The Zone At 62" published today on Ezine Articles.

I also have four other articles that can be read. They are 6270632, 6165572, 6153228, and 6202470.
They are all short articles that cover different subjects from hunting, fishing, cancer, snowmachine excursions, and running.
Had a terrific thunderstorm tonight with bolt lightning, high winds, and hail. Although we have very little if any snow in the mountains; this is still the end of December. What a strange weather year.

Trivia Contest for High School Classmates
I recently held a Trivia contest for my High School classmates. The person who could answer the most questions correctly won a set of my books. That would be my Alaskan Adventure book and the four children's books.
The first question actually gave them a choice of three questions to choose from. Then I asked eleven questions about things that happened during our high school years.
The last two questions they had to go to my website, http://www.mccainadventures.com/, and look at the picture galleries to answer.
Boy, I can tell you we forget a lot over the years, even with the help of the class yearbook.
It was fun an we actually had two gals tie for the win. Maybe I should have a Kansas City playoff or a sudden death question.......Nah, they are both winners.

Check Off One of the Bucket List Numbers!
My wife, Deb, and I spent this past week in Wasilla, Alaska. We stayed at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast named the Lake Lucille Bed and Breakfast.
Rates were fantastic, the rooms beautiful, and our hostess, Carol, is the best!!
While we were there we went to the Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood. This is a small town south of Anchorage. We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain and Paraglided down to the bottom. Our pilots were Drew and Wil. What super guys!! and a great company to work with. Check this one off the list.
While we were doing this there was a running race going on. The race lasted from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. There were two goals for this race: be the fastest one to run from the resort at the bottom to the top in the quickest time and to run up and ride the tram down as many times as you could in the alloted time.
One hundred and fifty diehard souls were running this race. Last year the fastest time was 25 minutes and the most completed "laps" was 25. Wow!!! Hats off to all of you!
My wife and I are looking forward to coming back next June to run in the Mayors Race in Anchorage. It has a marathon, Marathon Relay, Half-Marathon, and a five miler. The race is run on the Saturday that is closest to the Summer Solstice. Number two off the bucket list????
What a beautiful state to visit. It also helps that my son and grandson live their :}
One last question if you have paraglided before do you like roller coasters? This is what Drew asked me just before we started spinning like the water going down the drain....Yahooooooeeeeee :}
